Aparicio's family is still attempting to raise funds to ship the man's body back to Mexico for funeral services.

"For those who do not know Jose very well, Jose was not only a barback at Public House, a cook at Byblos and a baker at a neighborhood bakery," the Donate for Jose site reads. "He was a father of 3, beloved husband of Dionica Hernandez, a son who left Mexico in search of providing a better life for his family, loyal brother of 4, and most importantly, he was a true friend."

Staffers wrote that Aparicio worked three jobs to provide for his wife and children and to send money back to Mexico for his family's ranch. He dreamed of saving up to buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle for his father.

"On top of working 15 hour days, 7 days a week, Jose would find time to spend with friends and family," the site reads.

"If you ever had a chance to speak with Jose and get to know him, he was an animal loving, family oriented young man that was stepping up to the plate to better his family’s needs before his own, while keeping a never-ending smile."
